The authors featured in this anthology raise many important SETI questions that have often been overlooked by scientists and engineers about the methods of establishing significant communication with non-human intelligence. They address the vast challenge humans will need to overcome once an intelligent signal is detected from space. By comparing the SETI communication problems to issues faced by contemporary archaeology and anthropology, our race will be better prepared to face the challenge of communicating with extraterrestrial intelligence.
